Not read it all but has someone sent heavy in lamb ewes for killing?
I usually see an Hoggs that have been nicked by something when bellying them an pull them out.
Sending some cull cows and had the vet pd them just to make sure they weren't in calf.they had run with the bull till December so just wanted to double check not in calf.

New rules mean all poultrykeepers must register their birds - Farmers Weekly
All poultrykeepers will be required to log their flocks on the national register this autumn – even if they own just a few birds in a backyard flock.

Yay! More government interference in food production.

Yeah but it's worth it so we can all do our bit to help protect factory farms from losing their investments.New rules mean all poultrykeepers must register their birds - Farmers Weekly

A shocking week for selling livestock as meat processor demand plummets
There was plenty of red ink in Australia's saleyards this week, with all of the major livestock price indicators falling.

Just be grateful you're not Australian. While we enjoy record prices their SSQ equivalent is less than £3/kg dead weight.

Now there’s a fresh thought. Normally I wake up and think “well at least I’m not French, things can’t be that bad” now I’ll have to swap to “at least I’m not Australian”

I watched a bit of “Flushed Away” with the boys one evening last week. The French frogs really made me chuckle. Jokes were well over kids heads. Just about every French stereotype crammed into one film

I sent 10 hoggs to kill for lamb boxes last week. 8 out of the 10 had their livers condemned which I half expected for fluke given the year but no… contamination from dog faeces

Year of Covid I had 32 hoggs put in skip due to Cystic Ovis , I put it down to all the extra dog walkers during lockdown .

Have you got 1000s of dog walkers in your area?
Do you graze very hard into the ground?
Sounds like a pita.
i've got a couple of areas which are regularly used but atm
are in arable rotation.
